Basements in Tillsonburg
Tillsonburg, in the south end of Oxford County, has plenty of bungalows. In a bungalow, finishing the basement can nearly double the living space, which makes it one of the best-value projects in town.
The town draws a lot of retirees, so we often hear from people creating a guest suite for visiting family, or a self-contained suite for a family member or tenant. Younger families moving in are finishing basements for rec rooms, bedrooms and a second bathroom.
